Does anyone else find it annoying/disconcerting the amount of time spent in the article describing what reddit is? If reddit truly is "one of the largest communities on the Internet" and wired is a technology magazine then is that necessary? Where do they stop? "Erwin was using a computer, kind of likea type-writer with a T.V. attached to it, probably not dis-similar to the thing you're using now to read this article"
- martey 15y agoMaybe it has to do with the fact that Reddit and Wired Magazine have the same parent company, Condé Nast? Space in the article spent promoting Reddit might cause interested readers to visit.
- josephcooney 15y agoExcellent point, I hadn't thought of that.
- AndrewHampton 15y agoA little pedantic, but Reddit isn't technically a division of Condé Nast anymore. It's now owed by Advance Publications, which also owns Condé Nast, so they're sister companies.
